Interesting read

Yes, she was indeed and all the other women in the services and in public life that flew.

 

I did get a chance to talk with Louise Thaden's son, William (Bill), here in NH for a few days. We went through family photo albums and documents of her life for a display in an aviation museum I was part of, well started.

 

Another very interesting women.

 

Thanks for posting this UK_W.

 

Cheers,

There is something very Sexy about Women Fliers!

I read Jackie Cochran’s autobiography quite a few years ago. I became interested in her after reading Chuck Yeager’s book. From what I remember she was a very strong willed person. Another interesting woman aviator is Pancho Barnes. Pancho and Jackie hated each other but they both were good friends with Chuck. Neither one could understand how he liked the other.
